All I need is indexcards and desk space. Think in 2-dimension.

Taken in a place with no name (See more photos or videos here)

I have been preparing for a presentation next week. I have tried to do this task with my indexcards. This is the next stage of the Indexcarding.

1) Scan and review last four months' indexcards in the Dock
2) Make small piles of common topics (as seen in the picture)
3) Do memo, correction and interpolation
4) Compile each piles into slides of Keynote

This card-handling method is known as "KJ method", introduced in Kawakita Jiro's book "Hassouhou (abduction)".

I did something similar intuitively -- never heard of the KJ method -- will have to look that up. Thanks!

Yeah, my approach is similar. I write down key concepts that I'm interested in talking around, then order them into clumps and patterns until I find a narrative structure through the thing. Then I look at how best to illustrate each section or point and assemble rough slide structures which I can then play with.
